Hello, my pearl! I have an airy Summer shawl to share with you today, and I’d just love to tell you all about it.
Adamas was designed by Elisabeth Carr. When asked about her design, Elisabeth said, “Adamas stands for ‘diamond,’ or more specifically, ‘unconquerable’ and ‘indestructible.’ This shawl starts from the top center and spreads out to the bottom. The diamonds in this pattern are created by making chains to form gaps in the fabric in a diamond pattern. All of the stitches used are simple, beginner stitches, which makes the Adamas shawl perfect for a beginner who is looking to try a more challenging pattern.”
This Adventurous Beginner level pattern is for crocheters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Stitches and skills include chains, single crochet, double crochet, and carrying yarn up the side.
Adamas is made with our Mirage Sport yarn. It is perfect for items you want to treasure for years to come. Mirage Sport is a beautiful sport-weight yarn that’s luscious and supremely soft with a gorgeous drape, amazing structure, and a subtle gleam. This yarn is a blend of 70% Superwash Merino Wool, 10% Natural Baby Camel, 10% Cashmere, and 10% Mulberry Silk. It has 350 yds/320 m per skein.
The sample shown here was made with our Weekend Hues kit and used approximately 950 yds (869 m) total: Color A: 310 yds (283 m), Color B: 330 yds (302 m), and Color C: 310 yds (283 m).
We made a video showing how to work a few rows in each section. I hope you’ll take a look!
The pattern contains written instructions only.

Just started this and loving it. handi you star i was worried about the slip stitching , your video was the nest not scared anymore thanks you. x
Just stared the Adamas, a little bit confused on the repeat
I’m not sure if i am doing this correctly. Can you help?
Many thanks.
I too am confused please help 🙂 thank you !
Hi Irene, thank you for your message. I’m happy to help. What exactly is causing you trouble? Maybe you can let me know what rows you’re having trouble with and I can try to explain.
Have a great day. – Johanna 💕
Hi Jane, I’m very sorry I missed your comment. I’m happy to help. What exactly are you having trouble with? Could you please reference a row and I’ll try my best to explain it.
Have a lovely day. – Johanna 💕
Hi! I’m loving the pattern, but I am having trouble with row 30. Don’t understand where to place the double crochets, so there’s 89 dc before the middle<3
Hi Charlotte, thank you for your question. I’ll do my best to help.
You will place your double crochets into single crochet stitches from the previous row and also chain stitches from the previous row to get to the 89 on each side. The only exception are the first 3 dc (which don’t count to the 89 dc) which will be placed into the just made slipped stitch.
I hope this makes sense and answers your question. Please, let me know if there is anything else, I can help you with.
Thanks and have a great week! – Johanna 🥰
I have Adamas about 2/3 done – using a gradient cake from Hobbii for this first time through it. I love it! The lace diamond section is time consuming, but it looks amazing! Can hardly wait to finish it. Definitely a 5* pattern!
